Pastel Punk?

Well, I did it again. I entered an avatar into another avatar contest. This time, the theme was pastel punk. At the time, I didn't know if it was an actual trend or if it was a theme made up by the contest creator.

Without even bothering to do a quick google search, I came up with a look that I thought fell under the theme of pastel punk and entered it. Here's my handiwork.

She looks like she could be a member of Jem and the Holograms. The cartoon, not that heinous movie. Anyway, as usual, I didn't place. But as I was looking at the winners and other contestants, I noticed that most of them looked more pastel goth than pastel punk. When I finally did do a google search on it, I came across the same thing.

The majority of the images on the page looked more pastel goth than pastel punk. I don't get it. Seems like a lot of subcultures are getting pastel counterparts these days. What's next? Pastel hip-hop?
